I am quite fed up with Burda.The March issue is yet another one where I can’t find even one pattern that makes me want to go through the trouble of tracing it, adding seam allowance and decipher the puzzling instructions.Most of the patterns are very much deja vu for a long time subscriber like me. The pants with patch pockets are pretty much identical to a plus size pattern from last month.

I’ve already spent a lot of time putting together a youtube video where I bitch about this issue, so I’ll just leave the pictures speak for themselves.Please let me know what you think in the comments below, or on Instagram. Do you agree? Am I wrong? Let’s talk about it!

I’ve been seeing so much love for @deer_and_doe_patterns #ddmyosotis dress, so here’s mine!
I really liked this design and I got it as soon as it was released, but this first attempt of mine was a big flop. I didn’t make a muslin because Eléonore’s block used to fit me pretty well (and also because I didn’t feel like it 🤫) and it’s terrible on me. The shoulders are a disaster, the waist seam needs to be higher at the back and lower at center front, I don’t like the darts and there’s too much ease at the waist for my own taste.
I’m afraid I’ll salvage the fabric from the skirt and say farewell to the rest... 😭

Instant gratification 🎉🎉🎉 Made a @jenniferlaurenhandmade #huntertank in around three hours from cutting to wearing 😊 It’s a very cute, well drafted top and a fun project to make.

Thanks to everyone who suggested #bomberjacket patterns, here’s a roundup in case anyone else’s interested:
#mccalls7100 was by far the most popular pattern
#mccalls7637 is a unisex pattern
@jalie_patterns offers the #charliebomberjacket
@sewalittleseam has the #olliebomberjacket, both for kids and adults
@dpstudio_fashion offers two pretty stunning versions
As for me, I think for once I’ll try to not be wasteful and use what I already have, so I’ll make a toile of the @lamiaboutiqueitalia pattern and I’ll take it from there 😎

Help! I’m on the hunt for a bomber pattern, and while this one from @lamiaboutiqueitalia 12/2017 might be just what I need, I’d like to know if anyone has suggestions. I know of the #rigelbomber by @papercutpatterns but I don’t like the neckline (although I like everything else about it).

Thanks @patternsy for being a crucial part in getting my sewjo back ✂️ No more a4 pdf pattern assembling for me 🎉 #sewing #grainlinestudio #hadleytop

Sunday 🙌 @lazzaristore #lazzarigirl

So happy and proud to have worked backstage the #guccicruise19 show on women’s outerwear. And now, time to finally go back home 🚌 #gucci #alycamps

So I’ve been MIA for quite a while now but I’m fine and still sewing. As a job, actually! I’m quite happy and busy and slowly coming back to being myself after two stressful years. I’m also thinking about giving another go at blogging but we’ll see how that goes 🤗
How are you guys?
(Sorry to have deleted the previous post with your lovely comments but I might have posted something I shouldn’t have 💩)

Man, do I love fall ❤️

Hey guys! Long time no... see? Blog? Whatever. I'm alright, just very very very busy!
Anyways, I'm still the usual fabric addict, so I had to share this discount code from @supercutit ! Please take advantage of it, I know I will!

New post on the blog post, on this striped top made in collaboration with @supercutit and @schnittchen_com ✌️
